This is a 8* on CLEVELAND

Cleveland fell prey to one big inning last night as Detroit scored 7 runs in the top of the 4th. Really, it was one pitch that did them in, that being a grand slam hit by Tigers rookie Isaac Paredas. That erased what had been a 5-0 Indians lead and the 10-5 final score marked the first time the Tribe has lost this year when scoring at least three runs. They were 13-0 when scoring 3 or more previous to that! The loss also ended their 20-game win streak over the Tigers. Expect Cleveland to bounce back though as Saturday finds them sending out highly touted prospect Triston McKenzie, who will be making his big league debut. McKenzie is the latest addition to a staff that is allowing a MLB-low 2.9 runs/game and a .210 opponents’ batting average. No matter how he performs, it’s likely to be better than Detroit’s Matthew Boyd, who has an unsightly 9.64 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in five starts. Boyd has allowed seven home runs his past three starts and has yet to go more than five innings in any start this season. Classic bounce back for Cleveland. Play on CLEVELAND
